         3 . The access-denial bollard according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises a geolocation system. 
     
     
         4 . The access-denial bollard according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises means for identifying said access-denial bollard, preferably an electronic tag of the NFC tag type. 
     
     
         5 . The access-denial bollard according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises means for detecting movement of said bollard, and in that the movement detection means are capable of communicating with the wireless remote communication means of said bollard, which are capable of remotely transmitting that the bollard is being moved. 
     
     
         6 . The access-denial bollard according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises at least one casing which is removable with respect to a receiving housing in the bollard or integrated into the bollard during manufacture and constitutes a protective housing for the means of remote communication and any built-in electronics, this volume preferably being inaccessible from outside the bollard when the bollard is in the installed position on the ground. 
     
     
         7 . The access-denial according  claim 6 , characterized in that the receiving volume, which is preferably sealable, consists of a blockout which results from the manufacture of the bollard and opens onto the lower face of the bollard intended to be in contact with the ground, the receiving volume comprising means for fastening and/or retaining the casing in the receiving volume, or the casing being integrated into the bollard during manufacture by molding. 
     
     
         8 . The access-denial bollard according to  claim 1 , characterized in that all of the elements of the bollard which require an electrical power supply are powered by a battery which is accommodated inside the bollard, preferably in or with the casing. 
     
     
         9 . The access-denial bollard according to  claim 1 , characterized in that said at least one concrete access-denial bollard ( 1 ) is such that the entire bollard is based on concrete, preferably fiber-reinforced concrete, or the bollard has at least one concrete-based envelope, or the bollard has a metal shell and a concrete inner body. 
     
     
         10 . The access-denial bollard according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it comprises electronics-based equipment which provides technical functions, the equipment being equipment such as a public Wi-Fi broadcasting network, sensors, cameras, alarms, loudspeakers for broadcasting remote audio messages, electronic displays, and lighting. 
     
     
         11 . The access-denial bollard according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the body of the concrete bollard comprises at least two opposite faces, referred to as lower and upper, and a peripheral wall referred to as the side wall connecting the two opposite faces, the outer surface of the side wall comprising, preferably over its entire periphery and preferably in its middle part, a groove forming an indentation in the external surface. 
     
     
         12 . The access-denial bollard according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the body of said at least one access-denial bollard ( 1 ) has edges which are beveled, the body in particular having a parallelepipedal general shape and at least the edges thereof referred to as vertical when the bollard is in the installed position, the edges of the upper face, and optionally the edges of any surface indentation being beveled. 
     
     
         13 . The device for managing at least one access-denial bollard according to  claim 1 , and optionally its technical equipment, the management device comprising at least one server for centralizing data capable of communicating with the bollard provided with remote communication means and electronic data processing means, and at least one software application that communicates with the server, preferably at least one master software application which makes it possible to identify and locate said access-denial bollard of the invention and at least one client software application which allows communication with the bollard.
